Interview  |  Anthony Simcoe
Feature film quality television

Picture Is there anything about Farscape that you feel gets overlooked?

I hope that people realise when they watch Farscape that they�re watching feature film quality work in pretty nearly every department. From the sets, the construction, the wardrobe, which is absolutely gorgeous, the CGI, which is absolutely incredible, the performances, the make-up. It�s all feature quality work crammed into a television show with a television show budget and a television show time schedule.

If people appreciated that we make Farscape in a ten day turnaround, seven days on A unit, three days on a B unit, and if they realised how sets worked, then they�d realise the amount of work and dedication that goes into an episode of Farscape. It�s a lot of people working very, very hard to bring some very high quality work to television.
